Lake Butler City Council
members and volunteers from
New Perceptions, Inc., out of
Starke joined efforts at city hall
on Dec. 2 by packing goody bags
for children to be passed out at
the Lake Butler pavilion after the
Christmas parade on Dec. 3. The
combined efforts of volunteers
and.council members kicked off
the celebrations to follow.
The Christmas parade was
almost cancelled due to lack of
entries for participation, but at
the last minute, entries came in
to provide enough participants to
hold the celebration as planned.
City hall was in charge of planning
the event and announced at the
last council meeting that they

were fortunate enough to get a
Santa for the parade free of cost
this year.
City council members present
for the packing of the goodie
bags were: Mayor Fred Sirmones,
Vice Mayor Lonnie Norman,
City Manager David Mecusker
and city council members, Scott
Cason, LeRoy Stalvey and
Jimmy Beasley.
New Perceptions, Inc.,
volunteers were: Mary Kay Hall,
Rudy .Bradley, Casey Westcott,
Boyd Hall, Theresa Lacen and
Farah Marcellus.
The goody bags were packed
with an orange, an apple, a
coloring kit, marshmallow
Santas, marshmallow North
Poles, candy canes, assorted
candies, assorted chocolates, a
pencil and bubbles.

The parade began just after
dark on Dec. 3. The Union
County Sheriff's Office blocked
the roads and led the way, as
usual. The Union County High
School Tigerettes followed,
dressed in their seasonal Mrs.
Claus outfits, with the UCHS
band following close behind.
Each band member's pants were
lined with purple lights as they
marched and performed for the
surrounding crowds.
Afterward, a variety of floats
decorated for the holidays
followed. Floats and participants
included: Union County Cub
Scouts with a Sponge Bob theme;
the Lake Butler Rotary Club with
elves and Christmas d6cor; Grace
Christian Fellowship Church;

(L-R) Vice Mayor Lonnie Norman, City Manager David Mecusker, and Mayor Fred
Sirmones work in a line to ensure each bag is properly packed.

LEFT: Mary Kay Hall takes a
break from packing goody
bags long enough to pose for
the camera.

Another act of arson was
committed at the Lake Butler
Lake in the female restroom
facility.
A trashcan inside the restroom
was set on fire the evening of
Nov. 29. The fire caused little
damage to the facility, being that
it is concrete, but the smell of
smoke still lingers inside. There
is a small amount of smoke
damage noticeable on the ceiling
and a large soot mark on the
corner of the floor.
This is the third act of arson
committed in Union County
within the last month.

The fist fire was on Nov. 17.
The fire was reported at the old
Lake Butler wastewater facility
located on Southwest 1 h Street.
The old operator's office
located at the facility was set
on fire, leaving only half of the
building intact.
The second fire occurred on
Nov. 20, at a house located on
Southeast 5'h Avenue, next to the
Union County Public Library.
The back of the residence was
severely damaged, leaving very
little of the roof intact.

A large amount of soot remains in the corner of the
female restroom located at the Lake Butler lake. This act
of arson is the third incident in Lake Butler within the last
month.

According to detectives
with the Division of State Fire
Marshal's Bureau of Fire and
Arson Investigations and Fire
Chief Mike Banks, all three fires
were deliberately set.
All three arson fires are under
investigation. It is unknown at
this time if the fires are linked.

A reward is being offered to
anyone with information leading
to an arrest.

If you have any information
related to these incidents contact
either Jerry Baker or David
Young at 904-798-5804 or 1-

Heilbronn firefighters blaze trail

to reach hunter injured in fall

BY DAN HILDEBRAN
StarkeJournal.com Editor

Three Heilbron Springs fire/
rescue volunteers chainsawed
their way one mile into a heav-
ily wooded area Nov. 30, leading
a party that rescued an injured
hunter.
The 74-year-old man fell ap-
proximately 17 feet from a tree
stand, and lay injured for around
two hours while his hunting com-
panion tried to get help.
According to one rescue
worker, the area where the man
fell is close to the Bradford/
Union County line. When the
friend tried to dial 911, he at
first had no cell service. In sub-
sequent attempts, he reached
Union County, then Clay County

dispatchers. He finally had to
walk approximately one mile
to his truck, and then drove to
Northside Baptist Church, where
he met Heilbron volunteers and
medics from Starke. He then
guided the rescuers from North-
west C.R. 225, onto Northwest
212th Street, and through a se-
ries of roads, gates, clearings and
paths to within one mile of the
tree stand.
From there, the firefighters
and medics loaded equipment
and personnel into EMS Director
Brian Johns' pickup, and contin-
ued into the woods. Three Heil-
bronn Springs volunteers: Chief
Terry McCarthy, his son, 18-
year-old Brandon.and Joel Haas,
walked in front of the pickup
with two chainsaws, clearing a

path for the rescue party, while
two paramedics trailed the truck
on foot. The firefighters felled
around six trees, approximately
six inches in diameter to make
way for the truck.

Terry McCarthy said the
patient was conscious, but in
pain. EMS PIO Michael Heeder
added the victim suffered non-
life-threatening injuries, includ-
ing back pain.
After rescuers put the victim
on a backboard, they loaded him
in the back of Johns' pickup for
the one-mile trip back to an am-
bulance.

Engine show
offers history
lesson
The North Florida Antique
Engine Association, Inc., will
celebrate 25 years of restor-
ing and exhibiting old iron.
The group will be having its
winter show at the Bradford
County fairgrounds through
.Saturday, Dec. 10.
The club began in 1986
down at the truck stop. in
Waldo. There were about 20
members that first year, but it
has grown to 140-150 mem-
bers. The intent is to let peo-
ple know how their ancestors
worked with the equipment.
Some of the machines are
more than 100 years old. It's
amazing to see how these ma-
chines are still working after
so long.
Included in the list of many
machines that will be at the
fairgrounds is the 15 horse-
power Reed oil field engine
with twin five-foot flywheels.
iThis engine is housed as a
permanent display at the fair-
grounds. There are others that
are jut as interesting.
This is an excellent way to
have fun with the family and
teach the younger generation
about the history of farm life.
There will be something for
everyone.
The club' would like to in-
vite residents from Bradford,
Union and Clay counties to
come out and see what this
liib is about. The show is
small compared to some, but
anyone who has an engine,
tractor or farm-related equip-
ment to exhibit or sell will.be
welcome. Vendors are also
welcome.

Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?
Many today portray baptism as something that is not
essential for one to receive salvation. However, when one
examines the Bible passages on the subject of baptism we find a
completely different reality. Jesus says, "He who believes and
is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16). According to Christ
both belief and baptism are necessary for salvation. Peter said,
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). Here we
learn one has not received the remission of sins until they
repent and are baptized. Peter-would later write, "There is also
an antitype which now saves us baptism" (1 Peter 3:21). The
Bible clearly teaches that baptism saves us. Hence, if we are
going to be saved from our sins it is necessary that we are
baptized. If you would like to study this or another Bible topic
further, please contact us.

Union County's defense
entered the game giving up an
average of eight points a game,
but it was Jefferson County's
defense that made a statement,
holding the Tigers to 73 yards
and three first downs in
:Jefferson's 27-6 win in a Class
IA semifinal football game on
Dec. 2 in Monticello.
"They're clearly a better
team than we are," Union head
coach Ronny Pruitt said.
"They beat us up front."
Jefferson (8-5), which will
now play Chipley for the Class
IA championship, fell behind
3-0, but scored two
touchdowns in a span of
approximately four minutes to
go up 14-3.
Union (11-1) later added
another Joaquin Lovo field
goal that left the Tigers trailing
by eight at the half, but the
offense never mounted much
of an attack against the home
team. The Tigers, whose two
red-zone opportunities were
created by'a turnover and a 15-

during a time out.

yard penalty, rushed for 32
yards on 15 carries in the first
half.
Pruitt said Jefferson's speed
had an effect on his offense,
adding the team is fast in areas
other teams don't normally
have speed at.
"They came across the line
so fast," Pruitt said. "We had a
hard time blocking them."
Jefferson's brother tandem
of running back Alphonso
Footman and Lenorris
.Footman combined for four
touchdowns and more than 230
yards.
Jefferson, which
accumulated 18 first downs
and close to 300 yards, has
now outscored its three playoff
opponents by a combined
score of 121-25.
It was a shaky start for the
Jefferson offense, though, as
Union's Daquin Edwards
scooped up a fumble on the
home team's first play from
scrimmage. Edwards' 7-yard
return set the Tigers up for
first-and-goal at the 5.
Union's first play from
there, though, was a 1-yard
loss by running back Walter
Mabrey. Mabrey picked up 2
yards on second down, but the
Tigers were flagged for
holding on third down. After
an incomplete pass on third
down from the 14, Lovo
connected on a 31-yard field
goal for a 3-0 Union lead at the
7:39 mark of the opening
quarter.
Three straight carries by
Alphonso Footman, who
finished the game with 128
yards on 28 carries, moved
Jefferson from its own 23 to' its
40 on the ensuing possession.
Lenorris Footman then
avoided a sack and heaved a
pass downfield to Tre'veyon
Edwards for a 42-yard gain to
the Union 18. Runs of 3, 5 and
3 yards set Alphonso Footman
up for a 7-yard touchdown run
that put Jefferson up 6-3 with

4:01 to play in the first quarter.
The PAT was no good.
Momentum stayed on
Jefferson's side when a
fumbled exchange by the
Tigers gave the ball back to the
home team at the Union 37.
Lenorris Footman was sacked
for a 5-yard loss on the first
play after the turnover, but
Ladarian Smiley followed that
up with a 15-yard run to pick
up a first down.
A personal foul penalty on
Union helped move the ball to
the 10, but a personal foul by
Jefferson backed the home
team up to the 19 for a second-
and-19 play. A 12-yard
reception by Edwards set up
third down at the 7. Alphonso
Footman had a 4-yard carry to
the 3, forcing Jefferson to face
a fourth-down play. Lenorris
Footman hooked up with
Revonte Robinson for a
touchdown from there. Kenny
Madison's run on the two-
point conversion made it a 14-

3 game with 36 seconds left in
the first quarter.
Union's defense forced a
three-and-out the next time
Jefferson had the ball, with
Greg Edwards breaking up a
third-down pass attempt. A 29-
yard punt gave the Tigers the
ball at the Jefferson 41. A 6-
yard run by Josh Tyson,
coupled with a personal foul
penalty, moved the Tigers to
the 20, but they had to settle
for Lovo's 34-yard field goal,
which made the score 14-6 at
the 7:47 mark of the second
quarter.
The home team seemed well
on its way to a 65-yard scoring
drive as running backs
Robinson and Alphonso
Footman refused to be brought
down by initial contact. The
two backs had 31 yards each
on the drive, but Footman was
held just shy of a first down on
a third-and-4 play from the 6.

Service drives KH student

in Florida Key Club role

TFina Sessions,
:Florida Key Club's
'Division 4 lieutenant
.governor, has been
'involved in Kiwanis
.youth clubs since
- elementary school
BY CLIFF.SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
It surprises her how adultlike
she and her fellow Florida Key
Club members can be during
meetings, but Keystone
Heights High School
.'sophomore Trina Sessions,
who is the Division 4
: lieutenant governor, has spent
.most of her life preparing for
-her role in the Kiwanis youth
organization.
Sessions has spent this past
,year serving as one of 39
-lieutenant governors of the
state-level club, dedicating
herself to service and working
:-for'the benefit of good causes.
1,,:

She admitted, though, it still
surprises her when she goes to
a meeting and experiences the
professionalism she and her
colleagues display when
following parliamentary
procedure and passionately
discussing potential projects.
"While we.all act like adults,
we're all still really goofy,"
Sessions said. "When we have
our free time, we're all just
teenagers. We're normal.
"In the meetings, you would
never guess that. You'd think
we were all just little adults."
The seeds of Sessions' role
as lieutenant governor were
planted, though, before she
even reached her teen years as
she was a member of Kiwanis
clubs for elementary and
middle school/junior high
students-K-Kids at McRae
Elementary School and then
Builders Club at KHHS
KHHS did not have a Key
Club, a Kiwanis Club for high
school students, so Sessions
and several other students who
were in Builders Club.with her

helped charter one.
The KHHS Key Club was
chartered in September 2010.
Not long after that, Sessions
found herself serving at the
state level. She attended a Key
Club conference in January of
this year at Palatka High
School. Division 4, of which
the KHHS Key Club is a
member, was in need of a
lieutenant governor. Sessions
was approached by several
people inquiring if anyone in
the KHHS club would be
interested in serving in such a
capacity.
Sessions said she wasn't
even sure what a lieutenant
governor was and thought to
herself, "Not me. Not me."
However, KHHS teacher
Pam Wells, who is the school's
Key Club adviser, thought it
was a position Sessions would
be good in. Sessions said
Wells told her she had the
leadership skills to do it.

Toys en route for
Christmas Child
Dear Editor:
It is with great joy that I write
again this year about Operation
Christmas Child, an evangelistic
ministry of Samaritan's Purse.
A total of 3,126 shoeboxes came
'in to the Keystone Heights relay
center for poor children around
the woild! This high number in
a poor economy reveals the love
and sacrifice that is an integral
part of our Lake Region.
These simple gifts of small
toys, school supplies and hy-
"giene items are now en route to
the countries of Panama, Baha-
mas, Seychelles, Ukraine, Leba-
non, Belize, Ecuador, Mace-
donia, and the African countries
of Benin, Kenya, Madagascar,
Namibia, Tanzania, Togo and
Uganda.
My family served in the At-
lanta Processing Center over
Thanksgiving weekend where
we helped to set a record of
processing over 103,000 shoe
boxes in a day for the countries,
of Panama and Ukraine.
A big thank you goes to eve-
ryone who packed a shoebox or
in some way helped to promote
this ministry of compassion to
impoverished children.
This was my fifth year of act-
ing as the Keystone Heights
relay center coordinator. Once
again, I was thrilled to see a
giving response by so many in
our community. Stores and res-
taurants advertised with colorful
posters. The Lake Region
Monitor encouraged participa-
tion through articles and photos.
Beall's Outlet store donated
countless numbers of empty
shoeboxess to wrap and pack.
Red. and green decorative OCC
Sshoeboxes were offered at Bon-
nie's Pizza, Hedrick's Hair Sa-
-lon, Johnny's Barbecue and
Mallard's Dollarama to fill.
McDonald's donated 600
Happy Meal toys as fillers. The
.Salvation Army donated color-
ing books, crayons, stuffed la-
-dybugs, transformable teddy
bears, Barbie dolls and other
small toys to multiple shoe-
Sboxes.
Ladies knitted hats to put in
shoeboxes and men made
wooden cars. Johnny's adver-
tised Trinity Baptist Church as
the relay center for shoebox
drop-off on its sign. Friendship
Bible Church informed people
to pray for OCC during the Na-
tional Moment of Prayer.
Bryan's Ace Hardware and
Elixson Wood Products.helped
to transport 161 heavy cartons of
shoeboxes to the Gainesville
collection center.
Forty-two volunteers served
to collect, count and pack the
shoeboxes at the relay center
over an eight-day period. Rising
to the top were the 26 churches,
six civic groups, four schools
and two families who sacrificed
their time to pack the 3,126
shoeboxes. Considerate donors,
you did an incredible job! You
have made a difference in the
lives of 3,126 boys and girls.
Not enough thanks can be
given to the Lake Region for
your compassionate giving of
shoeboxes. We have been the
hands of Jesus in giving these
'beautiful, gifts. Pray for the

He was writing to say thanks for
his "special shoebox" from our
family from the 2010 season!
He wanted us to pray for his
health. There is no doubt in my
mind that our shoeboxes are
bringing hope and joy to the
children like Danet who receive
them. Just imagine their smiling
faces as they tear open their
shoeboxes. Merry Christmas!

past several years,
nee River Water
t District has
difficult and chang-
c times by refocus-
man and financial
olely on our core

mission-water supply, water
quality, flood protection and
natural resource protection. That
effort has served the district and
its citizens well.
As a diligent steward of tax-
payer dollars, the district has
tightened its belt, readjusted
priorities, eliminated non-critical
staff positions, sought
outsourcing where it made
sense, downsized or cut pro-
grams that didn't meet our core
mission principals, acquired
funding through grants and part-
nerships and generally found
ways to do more with less.
For example, this past year
the district completed its water
supply assessment study and
designated four water resource
caution areas in an effort to en-
sure adequate groundwater re-
sources to meet future demands
for the next 20 years.
The district embarked on a
joint regional water supply plan
with neighboring St. Johns River
Water Management District to
develop and implement a mini-
mum flows and levels preven-
tion and recovery strategy when
withdrawals in one district con-
tribute to water resource impacts
in the other district.
This landmark agreement is
vital to successfully addressing
future protection of our rivers,
lakes, springs and natural sys-
tems.
We also strengthened our
partnership with the state of
Georgia, where roughly 55 per-
cent of the Suwannee River Ba-
sin is located.
The district has accomplished
much, but there is still so much
left to do. Fiscal challenges will
not dampen the district's deter-
mination to "get the water
right."
Losing our springs and other
precious water resources is not
an option, and with the contin-
ued support of the legislature
and the Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection, the district
will continue to find innovative,
cost-effective ways to meet the
needs of its citizens while pro-
tecting our environment.

There are still
some Good
Samaritans
Dear Editor:
There are still some Good
Samaritans!
On Nov. 23, 1 discovered that
there are still people who are
compassionate and willing to go
out of their way to help. Some-
time around 4:15 p.m., a me-
dium-size, brownish/reddish dog
was hit by a car near Madison
Street Baptist Church on S.R.
100. From the information I
received through a phone call,
he was hit and trying to get up,
and he had a friend with him.
I just happened to be at the lo-
cal dog shelter picking up pic-
tures of all the dogs and cats
presently in our shelter so that I
could send them out to rescue
groups when the call came in. I
volunteered to go to the scene to
check out what was happening
(knowing that this close to a
holiday that it might take some
time for the request to go
through the proper channels)
and left with these wise words
ot wisdom ringing in my ears-
"Don't get bit."
As I drove to the site, I hon-
estly was hoping that I wouldn't
find the dog alive. I knew if I
did find the dog alive, but hurt,
that I was going to throw my
carefully planned evening and
holiday out the window with a
visit to a veterinarian some-
where.
As I drove up, there were two
other cars pulled to the side of
the road with two people stand-
ing by the dog and one young
woman crying in a car. The
story I pieced together was that

the dog was struck by a vehicle
that sped up and left the scene
after it hit the dog..
A mother was there because
her daughter was upset by what
she saw and the young man that
was there had pulled the dog
from he road to the sidewalk
and ife dog was dead. They
stayed until they were sure that
he was going to be taken care of.
I am not sure that I thanked
these Good Samaritans for their
compassion and willingness to
stop their cars and help a
wounded animal. So I want to
say it now-thank you! I wish
there were more like you. The
world would be a better place.
This beautiful dog was buried
in a backyard in the neighbor-
hood. I took a picture of him in
case I found his owner and we
tried to handle him as carefully
and humanely as we could. As
we dug the hole to bury him, we
wondered who he belonged to,
why he was out so that he could
get hit by a car, whether some-
one was even going to miss him.
We may never know the an-
swers to these questions, but we
do know that he was cared for at
the end.

If you think he is your dog,
give me a call at 904-263-8099
and I will be happy to show you
a picture so that you can have
closure.
The story of this unfortunate
dog is a good reminder to allfof
us not to lose track of our pets.
As we celebrate this holiday
season, let us reevaluate how x e
take care of our pets. I.et's re-
dedicate ourselves to involving
them in our lives and caring for
them as they should be cared
for. The rewards will be price-
less.

ers of Sheltered Animals Inc.

There are many in this old world of ours who hold that
things break about even for all of us. I have observed
for example that we all get the same amount of ice.

Regional News/Sports Editor
Being on the same court
with Duke University great
Christian Laettner may sound
like a dream, but the U.S.
Olympic "Dream Team"
member made that a reality for
players at Hope Christian
Academy, Northside Christian
.Academy and the other schools
that make up the Southeastern
Christian Conference.
:.Laettner conducted skills
.-clinics for boys and girls as
.part of the Southeastern
Christian Conference
preseason jamboree that was
held at Starke's Northside
.Christian Dec. 2-3.

"It's still fairly unreal for us
to have someone like Christian
come," Northside Principal
Toby Roehm said in the midst
of the Dec. 3 activities. "Just
the possibility of him coming
was preat "
Roehm said Chris Walls, the
principal of Beaches Chapel
School in Jacksonville,
mentioned he might be able to
get Laettner to come and work
with the players. Laettner, who
lives in Ponte Vedra, had done
some work with the Beaches
Chapel programs in the past.
Beaches Chapel's girls' team
won the conference
championship last year, while
the boys' team was runner-up.

Sean Hanson of Northside tries to rip the ball from
Christian Laettner's grasp.

Therefore, the chance to
watch Laettner working with
the players was an opportunity
for the rest of the Southeastern
Christian Conference coaches.
"Really, we've seen the
dividends., it has paid at
Beaches Chapel," Roehm said.
"I know as far as Northside is
concerned, we definitely plan
to take advantage of all that
(Laettner) has offered.
Hopefully, that will improve
our basketball (program)."
Laettner, who conducts
player and coaching clinics as
part of his basketball academy,
said he enjoys working with
youth. It helps fill a hole in his
life that came with the end of
his playing career-though he
is a part-time member of the
ABA Jacksonville Giants-
and feels like anything but
work.
"It's easy for me to go out
there and help the kids and
give them some suggestions,"
Laettner said. "It's a lot of
fun."
During the boys' clinic,
Laettner, who is a few inches
shy of 7 feet, was mixing it up
with the players during a drill.
Northside player Sean Hanson
was faced with the task of
trying to rip the ball from
Laettner's grasp, while Hope
player Andre Canady had to
contend with Laettner's large
frame as he drove to the basket
for a layup attempt.
"I do like to goof around
with them and treat them
rough once in a while,"
Laettner said.
Roehm was of course
thrilled to have Laettner work
with the kids, but as you might
imagine, the kids had no clue
who Laettner was, Roehm
said.
Laettner said that's usually
the case with any young
people he works with, but in

this day and age, they can
easily find out who he is.
"Because of the wonderful
Internet, they can go Google it
or YouTube it, and it shows
them real fast," Laettner said.
"When March Madness rolls
around and all these little kids
are watching, they'll see my
highlight."
That highlight, of course, is
the turn-around jump shot he
sank before the buzzer of a
104-103 overtime victory over

said of being involved in such
a play. "It's not a bad thing to
happen to a guy. I love it, even
if I'm real quiet about it and
don't mention it to my kids."
Laettner played in four
straight Final Fours at Duke
and was a member of two
straight national championship
teams. He was the only college
player selected for the original
Dream Team and was selected
third overall in the 1992 NBA

draft. He played 13 seasons in
the NBA before retiring in
2005.
It's hard to single out one
career highlight from among
so many, Laettner said, though
he did say, "The thing I'm
probably the most proud of is
the first championship at
Duke. You try to get good at
basketball so you can win a
championship. The first one is
a really good feeling."

.know what I'm supposed to
'do,"' Sessions said. "(Wells)
said, 'Just run for it, and you'll
learn later.'"
Wells wasn't the only one
who encouraged Sessions to
take the position.
"I had a bunch of people
from all over the state who
were there and other lieutenant
-governors 6f the past telling
ime, 'It's like the most fun
thing you could ever do.
Colleges love it, and you really
get a chance to serve.' That
kind of pushed me to do it,"
:Sessions said.
: She gave a speech on why
she thought she would be a
good leader in the community,
and then was voted into the
,position. Since then, she has
;given more speeches,
including talking to her adult
:peers at Kiwanis Club
meetings in the area.
It has helped her hone her
public-speaking skills.
"The first one I did, I went
.to Lake City Kiwanis,"
Sessions said. "I had no idea
what I was supposed to speak
on. They asked me to be a
guest speaker. I was like, 'Oh,
my goodness.'
"Basically, I just tried to
instill in them the values Key
Club has and that we really
wanted to work with them,
because that's a really big goal
of.Key Club this year."
Besides speaking to Kiwanis
clubs, Sessions has attended a
number of Florida Key Club
board meetings, attended the
Florida Key Club district
convention in May and
participated in leadership
training conferences.
It makes for a whirlwind
schedule for Sessions, who is
also involved in cheerleading
and weightlifting at KHHS.
She said it sometimes seems
like she's attending some Key
Club/Kiwanis function every
other day.
"Every once in a while, it
gets a little bit crazy, and my
mom has to remind me to
breathe," Sessions said. "It's
something I love. I love having
,important things to do and
always having a task to do.
"Even though it's a little
crazy, and sometimes I get
overwhelmed, it's worth it."
Interactiii'g'Wifi fdllow teens
from thfio-~d Qh'th- state has* -
been a joy, but what Sessions
really loves is doing something
to help others. That's why she
takes great pride in the
Kiwanis
International/UNICEF
Eliminate Project, which is
raising money to eliminate
maternal and neonatal tetanus
around the world.
"I'm encouraging all my
' (Division 4) clubs to raise
$250 for the cause," Sessions
said.
Sessions is selling Eliminate
Project T-shirts, saying that
each shirt sold saves five lives.
She planned a recent bowling
fundraiser in conjunction with
a division council meeting in
which $1 per game played
went toward the Eliminate
Project, while she and her
fellow KHHS Key Club
Members trick or treated for
small monetary donations this
past Halloween.
"We're trying to find fun
ways to raise money,"
Sessions said.
It was her experience in K-
Kids, stuffing Christmas
stockings for needy children
and taking part in other service
activities, that helped foster
her desire to help others,
Sessions said.

young-third or fourth
grade-was when I really
started to realize that there are
kids who actually need help.
They need toys for Christmas,"
Sessions said. "I started to
realize that no matter where
you are in life, there's always
someone who has it worse off,
who needs your help.
"That's what really inspired
me."
Sometimes it's hard to find
the time to remain involved in
the Key Club at KHHS when
she's busy in Key Club at the
state level, but Sessions said
she does what she can. Her
school club is her passion, she
said, and she has goals for the
club before she graduates.
"I would really love to see
100 -members-to hit triple
digits, and 'hopefully have a
majority of them be active
members and not just paid
members," Sessions said. "I
think that would be amazing.
The more people you have
serving, the more you can do."
As for the rest of her tenure
as lieutenant governor,
Sessions said one of the things
she is looking forward to is
next year's district convention
at which the lieutenant
governors will play an
important role.

"All the lieutenant governors
are in charge of setting up,
writing the maunscripts and
being in charge of pretty much
all the things you'd think
adults would be in charge of,"
Sessions said. "I'm really
interested to see how that all
works out and to see what all I
can help with."
Teenagers performing adult
duties and acting like adults
when it comes to conducting
meetings-it has made an
impression on Sessions. It is,
however, simply the
continuation of a growth
process that began in K-Kids
and one that will most likely
continue after she graduates
from high school. Sessions
anticipates being a part of
Kiwanis' college
organization-Circle K
International-and then as part
of a Kiwanis Club itself
somewhere.
"I'm pretty much a
Kiwanian for life," Sessions
said.

efforts for the Eliminate
Project or purchase an

It was another late goal that
helped the Keystone Heights
boys' soccer team salvage a tie
with District 5-2A opponent
Santa Fe, this time coming
from Juan Grimaldo as the
Indians and Raiders each
scored a goal'in a Dec. 5 match
in Alachua.
Keystone (6-3-3, 4-0-2 in
District 5) fell behind 1-0 early
when Santa Fe's Francisco
Wall scored in the fourth
minute. The match was
scoreless after that until
Grimaldo scored off of a
Tucker McLean assist in the
71s" minute.
The two teams met each
other on Dec. 1 in Keystone,
with that match ending in a 2-
all tie.
Again, the Raiders had the
lone first-half goal, but a
Grimaldo corer kick evened
the score in the 67'" minute.
Santa Fe answered with a goal
in the 74h' minute to take a 2-1
lead, but Keystone's Zac
Holman scored off of a free
kick in the 77th minute for the
tie.
In between those two
matches, the Indians got two
goals from Cory Hedding and
two assists from Grimaldo in a
5-0 win over district opponent
Fort White on Dec. 2 in
Keystone.
Hedding scored his first goal
in the 10th minute off of an
assist from Holman. Matt
Crane added a goal
approximately 10 minutes later
off of a Grimaldo assist.
Keystone took a 3-0 lead
into the break after McLean
scored off of a Logan Stanley
assist in the 24'" minute.
Holman scored off of a free
kick in the 61" minute, while
Hedding scored off Grimaldo's
assist in the 74th minute.
The Indians played district
opponent Newberry this past
Tuesday and will host district
opponent Interlachen on

at 6 p.m. before traveling to

TIGERS
Continued from Page 1B

Jefferson's Lenorris Footman
was then stopped short on a
fourth-down sneak as Union's
defense kept it an eight-point
game.
Jeffersdn threatened to score
again in the first half, but
Union's Tyson intercepted a
pass in the end zone.
Pruitt said he felt good about
being within eight points at the
half, but a costly mistake after
the break helped Jefferson add
seven points to its lead.
Jefferson received the
second-half kickoff and drove
past midfield, but Carl
Alexander's 6-yard sack
forced the home team to punt.
The Jefferson punter bobbled
the snap, but managed to get a
kick off. The punt, which
bounced backward from where
it hit the ground, touched a
Union player. Jefferson
recovered the ball at the 30.
Pruitt said he didn't think
the player in question touched
the ball.
"(The officials) said he did,"
Pruitt said. "I don't know. I
didn't think he did, but it is
what it is."
The end result was a 14-yard
touchdown run by Alphonso
Footman with 5:12 to play in
the third quarter. The PAT put
Jefferson up 21-6.
Union came close to picking
up its second first down of the
game on its first series of the
second half, but Mabrey was
held to no gain on a third-and-
2 play. The Tigers went for the
first down on fourth down, but
.quarterback Austin Harden's
pass was incomplete, giving

Jefferson the ball at the Union
45.
Alphonso Footman had
Jefferson on the move again
with runs of 5 and 9 yards to
help his team move to the 20.
Union's Alexander planted
Footman for a I-yard loss on a
first-down play from there, but
the next play saw Edwards
take a screen pass from
Lenorris Footman and score to
put Jefferson up 27-6 10
seconds into the final quarter.
The PAT was no good.
Lenorris 'Footman finished
the game 7-of-10 for
approximately 100 yards.
The Tigers picked up two
first downs on the ensuing
drive, though one was the
result of another personal foul
penalty on Jefferson. The only
first down the Union offense
actually earned was a 5-yard
pass from Harden to Dylan
Clark, which put the Tigers at
the Jefferson 35-yard line.
Harden, who finished the
game 1l-of-19 for 42 yards,
completed seven passes on the
.drive, but his 4-yard pass to
Mabrey on a fourth-down play
left the Tigers 2 yards shy of a
first down at the 19-yard line.
Pruitt said he felt bad for this
year's seniors, who helped the
team improve from a 5-5
season in 2010 to an
undefeated regular season this
year and to within one win of
playing for it all.
"They have been such good
leaders, especially to these
younger guys," Pruitt said.
"They laid their hearts out on
this field. I'm proud of them. I
can honestly say in all my
years of coaching, I've never
been so proud of a team than I
am with this group of kids."

next eight points, including
three points from the foul line
by Holly Strassberger.
Meghan Zinkel helped the
Indians stay in the lead by
scoring five points and coming
up with four steals'in the final

after the Tornadoes had made
four free throws put the
Indians up 44-35 with
approximately two minutes left

basket by teammate Hannah
Hamilton, finished the game
